Narrow Escape.

on the trout OF her dress, and soon after
had occasion to go close to the hot stove
which soon ignited her dress. In her

Attendance Increasing.

AS the merry and festive Christmas
holidays gradually draw nearer the var
ious Sunday schools just new are exper
fencing large increase in membership
the reason of which attendance is no
doubt caused by the animal distribution
of gifts then TO be made. As the work
men who entered the vineyard at the
eleventh hour received the same wages az
those whose labors extended throughout
the whole day, so we suppose the boys
and girls whe enter the Sunday school
will receive the same amount of candy
as those who have attended regularly
during the entire yaar.

The banana, orange, lemon and pine
apple might almost be termed natural
lied. so common have they become. But
there are other fruits which are so very
foreign that we have no English names
for them. There Is the zapote, for ex
ample, which grows in Mexico, South
America and the West Indies. The flavor
OF this fruit is sweet aud pleasant No
care is required TO bring it to maturity.
1t is as wild as the acorn, though moe
toothsome. Another foreign fruit IS the
caimitos, which grows on tree as large
as our apple tree. This is served for
dessert and has a mildly tart flavor. From
Peru comes the chir;moy as. Larger than
the apple is the manages. This has a
rough skin and pink interior, and IS
coarse IN flavor In shape it resembles
somewhat the pumpkin. Widely known
Is guava Jelly, which is made from the
guava fruit. which grows wild, and is
much like the apple in frmness, al
though resembling in appearance the
apricot With most Northerners it Is
an acquired taste, being considered at
firt rather too sweet. OF the Craze
fruit class is the fruita bomba The
outer covering Of tn is quite bitter
and must be removed from the pulp,
which is most delicious
By the various names of aguacates,
avaeodo pear and alligator pear IS
known a peculiar fruit, shaped like n
large pear and weighing sometimes as
much as three pounds. The shell is
smooth and tough In the centre is
large pit about as hard as q horse chcst
nut. \ curious thing abont the pit Is
the fact that it will make brownish
mark which is indelible This avagodo
pear is also called subaltern's butter, for
which it makes an excellent substitute

affected by the soldiers. The mango, or
West India peach, stands very high
among trop cal fruits. 1t has a smooth
skin and i, of brilliant hues, green, gold
and crimson. There is at first slight
suggestion of turpentine in its flavor,
but to this one soon becomes accustomed,
and all find it most delightful fruit.
OF course the orange and banana
come to US in the greatest perfection.
They can be plucked green and will
ripen on the voyage which cannot be
done with the pineapple Larger than
the banana is the plantain, which it re-
sembles. In southern countries it Is
much ed for cooking purposes, Icing
baked or fried like our apples, and is a
staple article of food. The cassava, or
bread fu.t, is not often import d. From
this is made cassava bread, The chief

completion of the Pasteurian treatment
for hydrophobia, W tn symptoms of an
exceedingly suspicious nature, are events
calling for the fullest and closest

The San Saba news. [volume] (San Saba, Tex.) 1873-1966, 1887-02-25

Mr.. H. L. EVERETT, who this year
graduated at Brown University, says
he Boston Herald, shows what q young
nan who has the Necessary viii and
purpose may do toward meeting the
expenses of his college course, at the
same time availing himself to the ut
most of the educational advantages
Afforded by his alma mater. Mr.. Ev-
erett has taken the highest rank
throughout the college course, and at
commencement received special hon
,rs in Latin, Greek, philosophy, and
modern languages. During his first
three years at college tho scholarships
secured by Mr.. Everett, joined to an
accompanying reduction in tuition,
covered the tuition for that period,
which was 500 yearly. In the fourth
year Mr.. Everett secured the highest
scholarship in college, of $3.50, which
is given on basis of scholarship to but
one member of the senior class. This
covered the term bills of the fourth
year. In addition, Mr.. Everett held a
membership of $40 yearly, which re-
quired his presence at chapel every
morning. His expenses, aside from tut
ton for the first three years and the
term bills for the fourth, amounted in
round numbers to 5000 yearly for the
first two years, $3.50 for the third, and
$3.50 for the fourth, making an aggre-
gate of $1,000 for the college course of
four years. In addition to the scholar
ships, there are many other ways open
TO students of the college who are de-
sirous of earning money. In term time
there are opportunities for working in
stores on Saturday nights, doing news
paper work, teaching in evening schools
at salaries ranging from SIS to $50,
and tutoring. During vacations, can
wasting, clerking, and waiting in hotels
occupy the attention of at least one
half the students at Brown. In soma
of the ways mentioned above Mr..
Everett has earned a sum which, to-
gether with the prizes for scholarship
gained In his college course, amounts
to over 81 900, thus more than cover
ing his expenses while in college.
